What is CVE-2023-2904?

CVE-2023-2904 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in HID Global SAFE, published on 7 Jun 2023. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

The External Visitor Manager portal of HID’s SAFE versions 5.8.0 through 5.11.3 are vulnerable to manipulation within web fields in the application programmable interface (API). An attacker could log in using account credentials available through a request generated by an internal user and then manipulate the visitor-id within the web API to access the personal data of other users. There is no limit on the number of requests that can be made to the HID SAFE Web Server, so an attacker could also exploit this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition.
